You have probably noticed we have been selling a lot more rugs in the past 6 months. We have a great connection for hand woven, high quality rugs - both vintage and new. Todd's passion for rugs started when he worked for a persian rug store in Athens. He always tells me that when he loves something he immerses himself in it and becomes as knowledgeable as possible on the subject. I'm just lucky that he has taught me :) We love the way persian rugs pair with mid century furniture. To us, it's quality matching quality. Similar to our vintage...

Wow! What a year 2015 has been for atomic :) I browsed through almost all of our photos (I have way too many pictures of furniture) last night and felt such a wide range of emotions. Here are the events I remember most... The first Adrian Pearsall Sofa we upholstered and how amazing it looked in it's new home! (Jan 2015) Debating on whether or not we should expand into the building on Patton Ave, the month of moving endless amounts of furniture, painting the entire space and waiting for all or our inspections and permits to go through (Feb...

Why did I choose to be a Furniture Dealer? It takes a certain person to really love it. Does it involve making a profit, of course but money is definitely not my motive. I appreciate the icons that came before me - Ray and Charles Eames or Adrian Pearsall (a few of my favorites). Their designs are the perfect marriage of form and function. Now that Todd and I are designing/building furniture I hope one day we will inspire others with our designs by encouraging others to create. Another reason I love what I do is because I really enjoy meeting all...

We left our sweet little town of Asheville last week to deliver some furniture to Miami Florida. We of course couldn't help ourselves from picking the entire way back. In the 5 days we spent on our way to and from Florida we experienced an overwhelming amount of hospitality from our customers, other dealers, and friends that welcomed us into their homes. The couple we delivered the furniture to were so understanding of our late arrival time due to traffic, heavy amounts of rainfall, and our complications with our running lights on the trailer. They booked us a hotel for...

Last week we had the privilege of taking over Ashevillefolk's instagram account. The takeover consists of giving people an idea of our day to day routine and to introduce locals (or soon to be) to our favorite artists/businesses in town. Enjoy :) "We are so excited to have Megan and Todd of @atomic_furnishing taking over the account this week! These two are the creative geniuses behind Atomic Furnishing and Design here in Asheville. They sell mid century, rustic and modern furniture out of their shop on Patton Ave. Throughout the week they are on the road looking for furniture, refinishing or...

  We've been in our new home for 25 days now and I have to say, I'm loving it!!! It's definitely been a lot of work trying to finish up the house while managing the shop but somehow, someway we are getting by :)  So what have we done since I last posted?? We painted the kitchen and bedroom, installed all new light fixtures in the kitchen and hung up more artwork. The kitchen is still missing something but I haven't decided what it is yet...Maybe a small island or cart? We have 3 spoiled dogs so they take up...
